President Trump is traveling to Florida today for the opening of a new immigration jail that officials have named “Alligator Alcatraz,” an isolated airfield in the Everglades that’s been turned into a mass detention tent camp. The ICE jail is expected to hold up to 5,000 people awaiting deportation, costing an estimated $450 million a year to operate. Over the weekend, Miccosukee Tribe leaders and environmental activists rallied outside the site, after groups filed a lawsuit attempting to block the camp’s opening until it undergoes an environmental review as required by federal law.

Thomas Trotta: “This is almost like we’re living in a foreign country. They didn’t do any environmental impacts. They didn’t do anything about the housing, whether it’s going to be safe. They’re leaving these people out in the middle of hurricane season. This is just absolutely ridiculous.”

Florida’s attorney general and Trump ally James Uthmeier has said Florida won’t invest much in security, as the jail is surrounded by alligators and pythons.
